Abstract

Total cytoplasmic tRNAs from cucumber hypocotyls were fractionated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into about 56 species. Of these, 32 tRNA species were identified by aminoacylation as tRNA specific for 15 amino acids. Furthermore, cytoplasmic tRNAPhe and tRNALeu (NAA) were purified to homogeneity by the combination of RPC-5 column chromatography and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The primary structure of tRNALeu(NAA) and the modified nucleotides of tRNAPhe have been determined. The sequence of cucumber cytoplasmic tRNALeu(NAA) is identical to that of bean cytoplasmic tRNALeu(NAA) except for three base differences in the variable loop.
